Let me level with you for a second.. I wasn't expecting a lot after seeing the Three guards out front, and all the townsfolk running around. I was pleasantly surprised that the 'Princesses' that the guards were talking about were actually more than just a set of unicorns parading as a higher power. They were in fact, bigger, than most ponies being about three times there size.

Did I mention that? Average ponies were a decent size, generally speaking they were about waist height. Back to the princesses. They also had both wings on there back, and horns adorning they're heads. I wondered how that came to be. Were they a mishap in genetics, or were they actually a being of great power? I digress, I'll find out myself sooner or later.

Enough inner babbling. I found myself inside a library that I had found deep in the walled off town. I found myself unable to sleep at night, which wasn't really a problem for me, since I needed to learn as much about this place as I could. I wasn't much of a Brony back on earth, but I could tell I was far behind the show, due to the Agriculture, and the way most spoke. Which reminds me.. If I spoke in modern English would they understand me? I would assume so, they don't seem stupid in the slightest. I might have to re-learn some dialect to understand them, if needed of course.

I have found out that some apparent magic researcher named 'Star Swirl the Bearded' has died recently and they've since taken most of his books and put them under lock and key for some reason. That's sad, I was hoping to see if I could replicate magic since my own energy seems magical in nature... Oh, I'll have to get back to that thought, someone is coming into the library.

"Dearest sister, wouldst thee bid us thine plan for Sombra?" Said a dark blue pony with wings and a horn,Princess Luna if I recall.

"We shall speaketh to him and see if he shall surrender" Said the Snow White equivalent of Luna only taller,Princess Celestia, if memory serves.

"Truly?" Princess Luna deadpanned "Why are we in thine house of books then?"

"We are here to find clues as to his sudden change, be it dark magic or other means." Princess Celestia stated curtly and flatly as she scoured the shelves nearby.

"We shall head back for Night Court then, Dearest Sister. Good Night." Princess Luna bid her sister goodbye as she walked out the door looking rather sad if you asked me. As I snuck around the shadows I grabbed a book that I knew would help her since I had skimmed it earlier. and as I was going back to the window to follow Princess Luna. I tossed it gently enough to make a sudden noise to grab her attention. Jumping to the roof was easy, and hearing Princess Celestia muttering to herself about 'Dark Summons' was all I needed to smirk more than usual.

----------Line Break------------

I landed behind the throne with only the sound of the curtains splaying in the wind to alert anyone of my entrance. They really need to lock windows around here. Princess Luna was sitting in her throne with a relaxed look on her face, enjoying the feeling of the wind rushing into the room. A guard nearby went to close the window, but Princess Luna stopped her.

"Nay, the wind feels nice tonight. Join the others outside, We'll be fine by ourselves"

The guard, albeit slowly, did as told and went outside. At first I thought that little Luna had found me out, but I was wrong. Oh well, my plan involved her, and she needs to know that I'm watching or at the very least, being watched by someone. So I hopped into the shadows in the throne room near the roof, getting into proper location was key.
"If you want to stop Sombra, you'll need to fight him and you know that." I state softly, my voice echoing around the whole room gently. Her eyes shot open, wide and alert. She jumped from her sitting position and started to shine a light from her horn around franticly.

"Who dares sneak up on us, the Princess of the Night? Show yourself!" She yelled. Her voice breaking the few windows that were in the room. When I let her echo die down, I responded.

"You need not know who I am just yet, but know this. When you fight him, when he takes down your sister in front of you, when he threatens everything you care for. Remember that you can stop him." When my echo's subsided, I saw her ears go down a bit, almost like she was afraid. A smirk tugged at my lips.

"H-how?" She asked quietly

"By using the power you have hidden away. The power you don't want your sister to know about. The power to do anything you wanted, to whomever you wanted." I tell her, in the same gentle tone, like someone whispering into your ear.

"We cant!" She gasped in what I could only guess was fear. Her response was what I expected. So I hit the final nail in the coffin.

"Then you will fall." I switched to a more stern voice, louder and more direct. "Everything you love will die. Your country will fall, your people will killed, and your sister will be murdered..." Her response was immediate.

"No!" She yelled viciously, snarling. Her Sapphire eyes snapped to a Turquoise almost instantly. There is was! That energy I felt deep down inside her was rising to the top. However, she was suppressing it, quite actively as well. What once was a small puddle of negative energy was now a small lake in her ocean of magic power that I could feel. But that was all I needed. The dam had been broken, and the leak had started. It was only a matter of time now.

"Remember that feeling. That feeling of helplessness, of despair and anger. It will help you, and guide you to the answers you need." I returned to my gentle voice. She was sitting there, panting from the exertion of suppressing the evil intentions I felt. "I will be watching, but know this. I will not help you."

"W-who are you?" She asked gently. Oh wow, she looked weak. Fatigue must be gripping her very hard right now, but she's still conscious.

..Oooh, I just had a dastardly idea to drive my point home.

I walked up to her from behind, silently, as usual. and got in close to her head with my own. Feeling for the power inside myself, since I haven't had a chance to really use it, it was rather hard. But once I get ahold of it, its really easy to manipulate. Like I have to ask permission to use it.

"My name, is Hazama." I whisper into her ear, while drawing a decent amount of my energy into the air around me. It had the desired effect of stopping her from turning to me completely and knocking her unconscious . However, she did turn her head slightly and I saw a faint glimmer of Sapphire, before she collapsed. I jumped out the window closest to me as guards started to swarm the doors. Hearing faint cries of anguish behind me was enough to know that Phase 1 was under way. I smiled to myself, I'm surprised everything's gone right so far. I figured I would have botched something up by-

THUMP

I got sent tumbling down from the sky. Landing roughly 200 yards from the throne room

"W-what are-" I heard a feminine cry from behind me. It seems I bumped into a Pegasus mare in one of my jumps. Shaking the slight cobwebs from my head, I noticed I had her full attention. I raised my hands in a defenseless gesture, to try to dilute this situation before it got out of hand.

"Easy now. I know I look like-"

"Eeeeeeek! MONSTER!!!!" She screamed while fainting, falling into a heap on the ground in front of me.

I turned to run, ready to launch an Ouroboros to help me. But as luck would have it, a certain White Princess landed in front of me with a face I couldn't read.

'Well, this went to shit and.. Wait, the library is on the other side of the town. How fast do you fly woman!?'

A thought occurs.

"Damnit Murphy .." I mutter before standing at attention for Celestia.
